I once worked for their biggest competitor - HelloFresh - as a door-to-door salesperson and I have to say... the way we were told to pitch to potential customers was terrible. We were told to sign up the customer and then then opt-out of delivery for a period of 5 weeks so the customer forgets that they’re still subscribed. The salespeople - mostly ~20 year olds - were also heavily exploited and the wages and commissions not paid. I’m lucky I got out quick because otherwise they pressure you to stay because most of your colleagues become your friends and they then peer pressure you...

I’ll assume it’s quite similar to BlueApron... but I don’t know for sure...

A sales job will always be one of the easiest ways to get hired in the US, and also one of the easiest ways to go unpaid and mistreated for a long time.

It's rare than anyone buys from an outbound sales person anymore, especially when it's not very complex or important.

I'm thoroughly surprised that food service companies would go door to door to beg for revenue. That is far more desperate than spam emailing,
